JOO Won and YOO Hae-jin Confirmed as Cast
According to her agency, rising star
LEE Yoo-young has confirmed to participate in
Geu-nom-i-da (working title) on January 30th.
JOO Won and
YOO Hae-jin have already signed up for the film prior to LEE’s signing.
In Geu-nom-i-da, a man goes in search of the murderer who took the life of his younger sister. JOO Won will take the lead role of the man that goes on the hunt for revenge, while YOO will play the antagonist. LEE, who just finished filming MIN Kyu-dong’s Gan-shin (working title) in December, will join to play a woman who can see the dead.
LEE is relatively new to the film industry, following her debut in
Late Spring, just last year. She played a hard working young mother who had trouble making ends meet. Her daring role, which also involved full nudity as she became a muse for a famous artist, was positively received by many for her boldness but also for her mature acting. Official recognition came to her soon after, as she received Best Actress Award from Milan International Film Festival. Most recently, she added a trophy to her collection when she picked up the Best New Actress Award from Kofra Film Awards.
YOO Hae-jin was also recognized at the Kofra Film Awards with the Best Supporting Actor title for his role in
The Pirates. YOO had consistently incarnated witty and memorable characters throughout his filmography. There are high expectations for YOO as he will be taking on a bigger character through his new role in
Geu-nom-i-da.
JOO Won is also expanding his list of credits after becoming more recognized through a TV reality show called 1 Night 2 Days. His last film was a webtoon based comedic drama, Fashion King.
Geu-nom-i-da will be directed by newcomer YOON Joon-hyung. Shooting will begin in March.
